This first ever monograph in English on Olga Jevric offers a unique opportunity to discover the work of a remarkable Serbian artist whose long and distinguished career established her as the most significant modernist sculptor from the former Yugoslavia. Despite gaining widespread acclaim from her contemporaries both in Europe and the USA, economic, social and geopolitical upheavals meant that her work has been little seen outside Serbia in the past four decades. As a witness to the Second World War and its aftermath, Jevric sought to give voice to the spiritual roots, cultural foundation and social conditions of the war-torn environment in which her work developed. Through her materials - primarily a mixture of cement, iron oxide, rods and nails - she created distinctive forms that communicate the relationship between matter and void; weight and weightlessness; containment and release. Though many of her works are modest in scale, they have an immensely powerful presence. This collection of texts and images provides a range of perspectives on, and a thorough contextual overview of, Jevric's work from some of the UK's most influential sculptors, alongside prominent art historians from the former Yugoslavia. It was produced in celebration of Jevric's exhibitions at London art platforms PEER (28 June-14 September 2019) and Handel Street Projects (28 June-13 December 2019), along with the acquisition of nine of her sculptures by Tate Modern.…

- This book marks exhibitions of Jevrić's work at PEER (28 June–14 September 2019) and Handel Street Projects (28 June–13 December 2019), her first solo exhibitions in London. It also celebrates the acquisition of nine of her sculptures by the Tate
- Her rough, expressive sculptures made with industrial materials have situated her as the most significant modernist sculpture from the former Yugoslavia
- Jevrić represented Yugoslavia at the 1958 Venice Biennale and her work was widely exhibited internationally in the 1950s and 1960s. After this time, geopolitical upheavals rarely allowed opportunities for her work to be seen outside the former Yugoslavia
- Two of Britain’s most celebrated sculptors also offer responses to Jevrić’s work: Richard Deacon recounts how deeply struck he was by her work while on visits to Belgrade, while a text by Phyllida Barlow in the form of a prose-poem draws the reader into the artist’s world of creative expression
